After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

Gan Cai'er felt extremely dizzy, her head was swaying as if it no longer belonged to her, and her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't lift them.

I really don't know where Wu Xin got the medicine from, it's so potent. She only drank one sip and her whole body became weak and powerless.

Fortunately, she had not completely lost her mind and could vaguely perceive everything happening around her.

She smelled a delicate fragrance approaching her, a scent like grass and trees after rain, light and refreshing, almost imperceptible, which was the incense Wu Xin usually used.

It seems that Wu Xin did not greet the guests in the front, but stayed in the inner room the whole time.

"Is she Lan Tingzhou's wife?" Gan Cai'er heard Wu Xin's voice.

She felt someone squat down in front of her, and then her face was lifted up and moved from side to side a few times.

"Tsk, no wonder Young Master Lan was captivated by her. She is indeed alluring and seductive, capable of bewitching people."

The next moment, Gan Cai'er felt her face being contemptuously shoved aside. If she had any strength left, she would have slapped Wu Xin hard across the face in return.

"Haitang, carry her out."

"Eighth Miss, you said you wouldn't do anything to Lady Lan." Gan Cai'er heard Huang Lanxiang's panicked voice.

"Tsk, I really misjudged her," Gan Cai'er thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile. She had always thought Huang Lanxiang was a taciturn and timid person, but she never expected her to be a person who could accomplish great things in silence.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt her."

"Then, what about my brother..."

"I've already spoken to my father about the Enke quota. He promised to personally recommend Young Master Huang. However, his competitors are very strong. That will depend on Young Master Huang's own efforts."

"Also, you didn't come to Ziwu Courtyard today, but went to Cuizhu Pavilion instead. Because your clothes were splashed with tea, you went back to the carriage to get clothes to change, so you left early. Did you remember that?"

"I've got it," Huang Lanxiang replied.

Gan Cai'er felt herself being lifted up, and then two very strong old women dragged her outside.

Outside Ziwu Courtyard, at the corner against the wall, stood two people.

"Miss, aren't those Madam Lan and Green Leaf?!" Huan'er covered her mouth, whispering in surprise and fear.

Zhu Xiaoxiao watched as several rough-looking old women carried two women out of Ziwu Courtyard. Judging from their clothes, they should be Gan Cai'er and Luye, but Huang Lanxiang was not there.

"Miss, what do we do now?" Huan'er asked anxiously.

"Let's wait and see." Zhu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and hid even further behind the wall.

A moment later, Huang Lanxiang emerged alone from Ziwu Courtyard. She kept her head down and walked hurriedly, as if afraid of being discovered, and thus did not notice Zhu Xiaoxiao and her servant standing in the corner.

"Hey, isn't that Xiangniang? How come she's alright?" Huan'er exclaimed in surprise.

“She’s alright, that makes sense. Ah Cai, she’s been fooled.” Zhu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly.

"Miss, should we follow them to rescue them?"

Zhu Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"It's not wise to act rashly now. The inner quarters are full of Wu family members. If we act rashly, not only will we fail to rescue A-Cai and the others, but we'll also get ourselves into trouble."

"Are we just going to watch like this?" Huan'er asked.

Zhu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, then said, "Huan'er, find a way to go to the front yard to find Young Master Lan. I'll follow them and see where they took him in the end."

"No! It's too dangerous for you to do this." Huan'er shook her head firmly. "I'll go with you, and you go find Young Master Lan."

“Silly Huan’er, if you go and follow her, it will be really dangerous if you are discovered. You might just disappear without a trace. If it were me, it would be better. If I were discovered, at least I could still deal with Wu Xin for a while.”

"Alright, hurry up and go! If you don't want anything to happen to your young lady, you'd better move faster."

Huan'er gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and still listened to Zhu Xiaoxiao.

She had been to the Wu residence a few times with Zhu Xiaoxiao and knew the major layouts of the inner courtyard, so she ran straight towards the front yard.

Zhu Xiaoxiao lingered by the wall for a while longer. Seeing that no one else came out of the Ziwu Courtyard and there was no more movement, she shook her dress, stepped out from around the corner, and walked onto the bluestone path.

She walked slowly, her gait leisurely, as if admiring the beautiful scenery around her. Then, she followed the direction in which Gan Cai'er had been dragged away.

Perhaps because there was a banquet being held at the mansion today, all the maids and servants from the inner quarters had gone to work at the front, and Zhu Xiaoxiao did not encounter a single servant from the Wu family along the way.

The surroundings were too quiet, so she quickened her pace.

Just then, she heard what sounded like voices coming from ahead. She listened intently and realized the voices were coming from a moon gate not far away.

So she quickly walked to the moon gate, leaned against the wall, and cautiously peered inside. Before her was a lush bamboo forest, verdant and verdant, its branches and leaves bright green and upright, the bamboo shadows swaying gently—a truly tranquil place.

Deep within the bamboo grove, there are several bamboo huts, which appear to be small houses for people to rest briefly while strolling through the garden.

At this moment, standing outside the bamboo hut were none other than the maids who had dragged Gan Cai'er away earlier.

Zhu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, knowing that Gan Cai'er was most likely inside the bamboo house.

Just as she was figuring out how to get into the bamboo house, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance. Before she could even react, she froze, collapsed to the ground, and lost consciousness.

Two figures slowly emerged from behind Zhu Xiaoxiao; they were Wu Xin and her maid Qin Yin.

"Good things come in pairs, now it's all complete."
